Choose the burial place following the funeral

The choice of burial place following a funeral depends on the residence or place of death of the deceased person:

  • people residents or those who die in Milan are buried in the city cemeteries, unless the relatives wish otherwise;
  • for the people non-residents in Milan the municipal administration can authorize burial in Milanese cemeteries, even if the deceased died outside the municipality, in the presence of particular reasons.

The choice of cemetery is based on the availability of existing spaces in the structures at the time of the request, with the exception of the Baggio Cemetery which has limitations.

The special departments are cemetery areas that the Municipality of Milan allocates to non-profit organizations or communities following the stipulation of an agreement.

The assignments must comply with the municipal administration's cemetery plan and may concern:

  • belonging to different ethnic and religious communities;
  • military or civilian casualties, in times of peace or war;
  • victims of disasters;
  • mafia victims.

They are also known as privileged burials and require specific authorization from the Municipality.
